Stephanie Moffitt and Annie Moir pack more than 100 years of textile design knowledge into a two-hour webinar.

From cotton to wool, nylon to polyester, the wide world of textiles is far more intricately woven than meets the eye. As a designer, it’s important to have a thorough understanding of where the fabrics you source come from and how they are made, so you’re making the most well-informed choices for your client’s style and their home’s functionality. Stephanie Moffitt, design director for Mokum and contributor to Woven, and fifth-generation James Dunlop Textiles family-member Annie Moir are two industry experts here to make you a materials master. Packing more than 100 years of textile design knowledge into a two-hour tutorial, the pair will guide you through the world of textiles, unraveling its complexities and defining its many terms and processes. In this class you will learn:<ul><li>How to think about common fibers and yarns, fabric types and characteristics, dyeing techniques and finishing processes</li><li>What it takes to create a bespoke hand-crafted textile design, from raw fiber to finishing stitch</li><li>How location (Australia and New Zealand, specifically) and culture influence design direction and intent</li></ul>After this class, you will have:<ul><li>An encyclopedic glossary on general textiles, drapery, upholstery, accessories and wallcoverings</li><li>An insider look to a cultural approach to design and how where we live impacts the design process</li></ul>Additional Information: This webinar is conducted through AdobeConnect.
